Loss of PTPRB function remodels VEGFR1 activation in tumors overexpressing the receptor tyrosine kinase
2026-08-17
Abstract excerpt
The VEGF Receptor1 (VEGFR1) is a deceptive receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK). In early embryonic development, VEGFR1 negatively regulates angiogenesis by acting like a decoy receptor. Ligand binding transiently phosphorylates the receptor and induces a weak activation, even at high receptor density. Yet, in multiple cancers, overexpression of VEGFR1 plays a central role in tumor vascularization and growth. Unlike man...
